ok hear me out
isnt it better if franchising system to use a relegation system?
if riot just copypaste what they've done with LoL its gonna be a disaster for minor team and minor region (LoL created LEC with the exemption of CIS, Turkey, etc)
Basically the Franchise League thats about to be created from chose orgs in an upcoming news are Tier 1 League. (Since there will be only 3 Continent League)
Personally, relegation + points system is already good as it is (riot basically copied valve system of DPC and make it their own) and it can still be implemented for Franchise League.
Riot maybe already thinking about this, but I heard a lot of bad response from people.
edit: to those who says this is basically not a franchise. what I suggested was riot still the one who choose who they can partner with (Tier1 for partnered, Tier2 for affiliates for examples) that way no unknown teams will be created out of nothing
